Issues with JFv1.41

I'm having a couple off issues with the latest release.
First of all I can't turn Wifi off and keep it off. Everytime I go into the menu to check on it, it's checked, so I uncheck it, and it'll turn off for a minute or two and then all of a sudden turns right back on. This is extremely annoying.
And the other is that it seems like in some apps my touchscreen presses don't keep the phone awake. So I can be interacting with the screen and then all of a sudden it'll go dim. I'll keep pressing on screen buttons and a few seconds later the display will shut off completely. The only way I can jog it back awake in its dimmed state is to move the trackball or press some other hardware button.
Anyone else seen these problems?

I've seen similar issue with the screen staying awake, thought it's just the phone. Also not sure if it's related sometimes I'll click on a button for example, but it will almost not recognize the spot i'm clicking on and click something else on the screen.

These are the same problems I've been seeing on my phone. I imagine it is due to the multitouch hack, but I haven't gotten the motivation to downgrade my phone back to 1.31.

Do you have anything installed like power manager or locale? One of those progams may be turning on wifi.

Nope, I had installed Power Manager once a while back and didn't like how it worked so I uninstalled it. Don't have Locale installed either. I ran the task manager to see what was running and there was nothing that I could tell that would turn the wifi on.

The touch issues are rather widespread amongst 1.41 users. However, don't know what's up with ur wifi. I have a strange issue with my wifi as well though. Whenever I boot up my phone and wifi was enabled when it turned it off. I get 2 not responding errors. Everytime. Its like clockwork. With 3g? Never. It took me about 20 wipes and 10 or so hours to finally figure it out. Hopefully all these problems will be fixed with rc33

I have also noticed that Applications don't check for new updates anymore. even when I go to "My Downloads", It used to show "free" next to any application that has an update or has been uninstalled. Now it shows "Installed" next to all the applications but when I go to the application by category, It shows up as "Free" meaning that there is a new version.
the case in simple points:
1. when I open the Application..... It doesn't detect the update.
2. when I go to "My Downloads" in the market, It doesn't show "Free" next to any application that has an update.
But if I go to the application by category, It shows "Free".

i havnt had a problem with it staying on, i noticed that my phone was dimming to quickly. I know theres probably an adjustment somwhere (i think at least) but i havnt had any problems what so ever with it.

Very strange. I haven't had either problem (wifi or touchscreen). I have noticed that my battery drains more quickly than it used to, but I have been blaming this on the DroidSans autorotate feature always flipping the screen everytime I move the phone (I mess with the phone an awful lot).

DroidSans Tweaks checks the version. At the moment it's not going to recognize RC33 as a valid version. Wait for it to be updated.

What he said... But don't forget to enable auto rotate in your browser though. You don't need droidsans for that.

JF1.51 Rooted G1 Won't Lock With Red Button

Hello,
After rooting my G1... I've noticed I cannot lock the phone by pressing the red button. I can unlock the phone fine using MENU (or now the Lock 2.0) application, but I have been unable to lock by pressing the red button since I rooted/changed the firmware.
Also, I've had problems with text messages sending (sparadically) and issues with the Market downloading applications without having to reboot the phone.
I do have the most up to date Radio firmware from HTC.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

What does it do when you press the red button?
And whats the deal with that poll? Doesn't seem related. You also missed some choices that might be more popular... i.e. 2 days, 3 days, 5 days.

My phone has been crashing sparadically, force closes. For the past two days pressing end called asked me to set a default action, for which there was only two options "Home" and "Lock 2.0 (WARNING DO NOT CHOOSE THIS) or something to that effect. When I chose home, the button did absolutely nothing, but I never chose Lock. I have not disabled lock, intentionally... But running "Backup for Root Users" wiped my contacts, e-mails, sms, all application settings, my google account, everything.
So go figure.. that somehow fixed the locking issue, but my phone is still far from stable.
I can't imagine anyone getting 24 hours of battery life without plugging it in. I have the original HTC battery and a generic battery too, no luck.
I have GPS and Wifi disabled, brightness down low. I have 3G disabled as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

First of all do a wipe on the phone. If that does not fix it I would re-flash the rom that you are using and wipe. Hope that helps.

if your running jf 1.51 there should be a app called spare parts if you go into that app there is a section that allows you to pick wut the end call button should do whether it be go to the home screen turn the screen of or both

NYSteeler you star! I completely forgot about that option in Spare Parts!
Just installed cyanogen's latest ROM and I was having similar problems. For some reason when it was set to 'Home then Sleep' the red button does nothing. But when set to just 'sleep' it locks the phone as it should!
There's probably a conflict somewhere... but I can do without the hassle of add/removing apps one at a time to see which one it is! And I can live with having to push 'Home' then 'End'.. It's easier than waiting for the screen to timeout!
And who on earth is getting more than 24hrs out of their G1 battery!? Maybe if you leave it at home for the day...! I get about 12-13 at the most out of mine.

[Q] problems when rebooting

dear members of XDA-developers.
i have a question to ask, when i install a new application on my htc HD2, the system tells me that is needs to reboot the phone so i can see the changes.
when i try to reboot, i only get the white screen with the green HTC logo, and it stays there. and the only way to get it to boot back on, is to take away the battery, wait for a few minutes and then try again.
by the way, soft reset did not solve it. can anyone help me please. thank you

What application did you install as this would be helpful to know. It might be s known application that does not play so nice with the HD2.

i installed 4 apps.
and every time it's the same problem
i installed the shortcut for wifi toggle
and bluetooth toggle,
garmin
and soft reboot shortcut

Ok do this unindtall all of the apps you listed and reinstall them one at a time and soft reset it after each one until you get the issue back. When the issue has returned whatever app you had just instlled iswhat is giving you the problem. I recomd not using this app and trying to find another app that will do the same function.I also recomend you just place a quick link to the Comm Manager on your Home screen as this will adress hour WiFi toggle wants just have one more touch to acheive this is all. Install Touch Tools and it allows you to intergrate the boot option screen to your end key so all house have to do is hold down the end button and it will give house a screen to power off, soft reset, enter bootloader,hard reset, suspend, and did onnect data. you can also place a quick link to your bluetooth on your Homens screen.

[SOLVED] Can't shut off the phone, it always turn on again

well, i was following a thread about it, but i guess it was deleted cause it was in wrong area...
if a fix was found please tell me! =oP
it seems to be a commom issue: when i try to turn off the phone, it just turn on again...
what i've done until now: i was running cm7 and i believed it was a rom related issue, but i'm back to uk stock (1.32.405.6) and keep it with no root (just ship s-off that remains after flash ruu), and the problem remains, just take a little longer to turn on again... BUT, when i plug it into pc by usb cable it stays off, when i unplug it turns on again...
i'm tending to believe that's a hardware issue, maybe a short in phone plug, but in this case, it is the most commom issue that i've saw...
any idea is welcome
thanks...
Edit:
Okay Folks, looks like the "fix" was found. I made a little summary for the next generation! =oP
this weird issue happened due summer time changes (don't ask why), but after March 27 the phone simply didn't stay off, if you tried, it just turned on again.
The "fix" is:
- disable automatic hour update (just in case)
- remove battery and let it out for around 10 hours, then put it back and turn on!
- Hour and date may reset (or not)
- now you can reactivate automatic hour update if you want.
- the device just stays off properly again
credits for
XL3N7 that found the problem,
Rodomar705 that found how to fix in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014520
And everyone else that probally lost every data (like me) so many times trying find out how to solve it. =oP

I really dont understand why the admins deleted and not removed the thread from the development section.
What really happens: I have my dhd with cm7 around two months now and i always flashed the nightlies.I know the issue, when the phone is powered off and plug a charger reboots in cwm recovery. I never had problem just to "power off" my phone and actually did that every night before going to bed (so i know that the "power off" used to work ok) .Two days ago i flashed RC3 , power off worked ok, then nightly 32 and next morning i had the issue.When i select to "power off", without any charger or usb connected , phone just reboots.Just to remind you that if the phone is powered off and you connect it to charger then the phone goes to cwm recovery!So i tried various combinations :
1. Back to stock 1.32 (both with img file and exe file). After that flashed 3.0.0.5 and the newer version of cwm
Phone powered off correcty and the vol down+power goes to hboot.After flashing cm7 problem appears again.
2. Also had a backup and load it (nightly from 16/02/11) but still the same problem.
Please devs tell me what kind of files you need in order to help me solving the issue.
Also i see posts from guys using other custom roms and having the same problem, so i dont really understand why the admins deleted last night the thread started in development section.
You guys using customs rom just check if your power off works and if you have problem write it here and hope not to be deleted.
@thiagodark I think you have to change a little bit thread's title

same problem!!....i think is a bug of CWM...or there is a conflict between recovery and "idontknow"!!....
this situation is funny ... we are afraid to brick and our DHD doesn't want to turn off...

well, i think my problem is a little different, cause i get this problem even after flash official ruu, i'm all stock right now and the phone keeps reboot when i try to power off. when i select "power off" with micro usb cable connected, it works okay, but when i disconnect, it power on again.
Also, sometimes when i try to power off with or without the micro usb connected, it just dies and the only way i can power on it again is by removing the battery.
suggest me a tittle and i change, as you can see, my engrish is not something i can proud myself! =oP

Yes，it must a bug of CWM 3.0.2.4r1,I hope they can fix it in a few days

Ok, I think I have found the problem.
Go to settings --> Date & Time, untick the option to use network values and set the date somewhere before the 27th of March when the daylight changes took place. Reboot and power off. The phone should stay off (at least it did for me). Now power on, go to date & time settings and tick the option to use network times. Power off and it will probably come back on.

I know but at least we know know what is causing it. Probably an issue HTC will have to look at, since it doesn't seem to be a cm issue.

No its not a bug of 3.0.2.4 r1(i had 3.0.0.5 when problem appears). As i wrote everything worked perfect (cm7+cwm 3.0.0.5) till one morning (was on cm7 nightly 32+cwm 3.0.05) want to boot in bootloader, so i select to power off.After that never powered off.What makes me nervous is that i didnt install any appl or changed the cwm recovery version.Nothing like that.I always powered off my phone so i know that there is not cm7 nightly related.
So the big question is what changed in a few minutes?
What the f******k?????? Daylight? )))))))))))
Confirmed working.Changed the date back to 03/26/2011
A guy mentioned that last night (about the daylight change) on the initial thread which admins decided to delete

ok, but i don't get how it could affect me, since i live in a place where March 27th was a normal day... here summer time OVER almost a month ago! =o)

I have no idea m8. I've just put 2 & 2 together. The issue first appeared shortly after the time change. Maybe a bug in htc's code? Surely not a cm thing. I have tried fastboot erase system -w and the problem was still there. I have also tried different radios, cwm versions and the issue is still there. Probably HTC. Hopefully one of the greater minds of this forum can pin point the issue.

Perfectly good work around
Hi, If you want to, you can untick the setting in Date & Time and install Clocksync from the Market. Using this app you can sync your phone's time at whatever schedule you like to the atomic clock (it is much more accurate than HTC's provider).
This will enable you to shut down correctly and have accurate time displayed on your device.
You need root though.

[ICS] on KF - feew issues

Hi all!
Since i can't post in devs forum (I understand and obey forum rules) i'm going to post info about problems with ICS on my KF. Maybe someone will find a way to resolve some of them
So let's start:
1. When screen turns black automaticly (not by pressing power button), I mostly cant turn it on again. Just need to restart whole device.
2. Sometimes WiFi after waking up from sleep cant connect (trying to connect, but cant finish it positively). I need to manualy delete network setts, restart wifi, and configure it again to resolve problem.
3. Opera mobile freezes at start screen, but device is responding so can kill app.
4. Sometimes whem I'm using restart button from power menu, whem device is trying to close OS, it's getting stuck there, and needs to be turned off by pressing power button for 20s.
Thats all for now. Guys, keep up at great work are you doing!
PS. sorry for possible grammar erros in post, I'm not fluent in eng.

I had noticed the same thing as you have listed in item #1 so try this. Go into Settings > Display > Sleep options and (at least on mine) nothing was checked. Check one of the time options and it should be fine.
Can't help you on the other items but I think I've seen your item #4 issue. The power button menu is new and it might be a bug. Oh, and your english grammar is perfectly passable. Don't sweat it. Best of luck.
